Now Registering for Next class July 28-30 ONLY 1 opening left, or one couple!

Now taking reservations for the August 25-27 Class 
    

The purpose of this Coffee Shop Business School is to educate prospective new coffee
shop and drive-thru-coffee business owners on "How to Make Real Money with a
Retail Coffee Business."
With the least of pain and the most of gain!

The classes will be held in Troutdale, Oregon, a charming suburban community of Portland, not far from the airport.

In order to provide a realistic setting, the school is in an actual former coffee shop, with the same equipment, menu and products that all of my two hundred some clients are using all across the country.

During this three day class you will be trained and instructed by Alex Fisenko in all phases of planning, designing, marketing and drink preparation techniques. This training is based on his (over) thirty years of experience as owner-operator of sixteen shops, and as a consultant having opened over two hundred independent coffee shops and drive-thrus nation wide for clients with no experience in this business.

Alex,                                                                    

 
First of all, let me say what a pleasurable, and information - packed 3 days we had.  Alex, your depth of knowledge and all your years of experience make for some very memorable and funny stories, as well as practical "school of hard knocks" education.
 
We would highly recommend this course to anyone who is considering opening their own coffee shop.  We will applying much of what we learned when we open our place in (hopefully) 5 weeks.
 
Our very warmest regards,
 
Steve and Dana......

                                                   ************

We will not waste your time or money teaching subjects that do not have any bearing on the "bottom line" of your business, for example, the origins and cultivation of coffee beans, or take you on exotic cruises to coffee producing countries.

We will focus on things that really matter, such as:

  • Coffee shop and drive-thru locations;
  • Business Plan for your investor or landlord;
  • Shop/Drive-Thru layout for speed and efficiency of operation
  • Espresso equipment - which best for you.
  • An "espresso focused" customer friendly menu;
  • A "jump-start" marketing program to bring customers into a new shop;
  • Comprehensive and intensive drink preparation techniques system (barista training/practicum)
  • Opening and closing procedures and daily cash management.
  • Choosing coffee, related products and suppliers.


 Because we limit the number of students to no more than eight per class, we are able to provide you with more individualized, comprehensive "hands-on" training than a larger group can.  Additionally, we will be able to work with you one-on-one concerning your specific area, such as, choice of a certain location, layout of your shop, or any other matter pertaining to your interest.

This "Three Day Coffee Shop Business and Barista School" is for those that are starting out and need to gain practical knowledge about the whole business aspect of planning, executing and operating a coffee shop or a drive-thru. This comprehensive training is very similar to my  "Turn Key Consulting" for which you would pay $6500 plus travel expenses. 

The cost of attending this three day class will be only $1750 per person, $2500 per couple.
If you have purchased my "Espresso Business Success Program", we will deduct $100.
So we can teach you more effectively, there will be no more than eight students per class.

As we accept ONLY eight people per class, they usually fill up by the 10th of the month.

As the class may be already full, please call or check by e-mail before making your payment.

Please go here to check the training details.

If the class is sold out, or if it is premature for you to attend, the next best option is our
"Espresso Business Success Program" Book & DVD
